Pinecroft School Students Make Sure No-Buddy's Left Out

Posted

The new 3rd graders at The Pinecroft School in Rehoboth have reason to be proud of themselves after the installation of a "Buddy Bench" outside their independent K-5 elementary school. Last spring, they read a Scholastic News story about a boy in Pennsylvania who thought up the idea of having a bench where kids can sit and let others know they want to talk or play.

The Pinecroft students (then 2nd graders) thought it would be a great idea to get one for Pinecroft and went right to work on it! They wrote a letter to Lowe's explaining the meaning of the bench and were thrilled when they arrived back at school after the summer vacation to find that the Lowe's store in Plainville, MA had donated one!

The students gathered at a whole school meeting and explained the idea of the bench to their classmates and how it works. Now, the whole school is enjoying the new "Buddy Bench" every day!
